You know what's funny about Promethea? It's a comic book that definitely wouldn't appeal to children (vide: the Kabbalah story arc) and which has full frontal nudity and unmistakable sex, and yet the swears are bleeped out. Oh Alan Moore, you crazy, crazy man.

Reprints Promethea #19-25. Promethea and Barbara complete they journey through the spirit worlds and Promethea returns to Earth to find Stacia and Grace's relationship has become a problem. The story in Promethea isn't easy. Until about halfway through this book, the story is for the most part a philosophical journey. The second half picks up the more traditional comic book plot, and while it is nice to have a more structured narrative, it loses a lot of the overly deep thought of the first ...more

Still absolutely amazing! I love when the comic panels get all bugging and out of order and in loops and stuff, and all the different art styles of the spheres of the Tree of Life. Very beautiful! I'm pleased that this series has the same artist all the way through, it always jars me when a comic's style changes significantly due to a new artist.

The only con of this book is that I can definitely tell that things are wrapping up, and I want MORE! (Of course I knew Book 5 was the l...more

This series is pretty much a collection of Alan Moore's belief about the power of imagination, story, magic, and well, tarot. If you're not really into the subject, please grab another book. Me myself got kinda bored (read: didn't have no clues) in the book 3-4, when he explained about every single path in tarot. But the ending and the idea is just marvelous.

Most of this book is spent watching Sophie and Barbara become more and more enlightened as they: identify a sigil as Hebrew! meet legendary magicians! get in touch with their emotions! have kinky sex! etc. Luckily, Sophie and Barbara eventually meet God and thus, end their quest. Their stupid, boring, intermidible quest.

Luckily, Sophie's return to earth also marks a return to plot. Though that she's met God and been assured of her purpose, some of the other Prometheas are les...more

Again, the Kabbalah adventure is good, but not completely fulfilling, and is boring at times. The other half, which continues the story arc of Promethea, is vital.

I'm loving the whole series, though all the Kaballah and Tarot stuff gets a little confusing. But the artwork is fantastic, and I love how it changes with the story.
